Is Your Pet Microchipped?

Pet Microchipping

Hopelawn Animal Clinic offers microchip identification for pets. We can microchip ferrets, rabbits, birds, and other companion animals, too! We use the AKC Reunite Pet Recovery and Identification System. You can rest easy knowing your pet is protected – whether you are at home or you take them out of town.

What is microchipping?

A microchip is a tiny electronic device, about the size and shape of a grain of rice. It is implanted beneath your pet’s skin between the shoulder blades, and stays there for the pet's entire life. This procedure is as easy and as painless as a vaccination.

How does microchip identification work?

Each microchip has a unique number. This number, along with information about the owner and pet, are added to a national registry. Most veterinarians and animal shelters have electronic scanners for detecting and reading these implanted microchips. If a lost pet is found, and the microchip is scanned, the registry is called and the owner is contacted.

Please call us at 732-738-1338 to make an appointment.

One in Three Pets Will Become Lost in Their Lifetime

Without identification, 90 percent of lost pets never return home. Microchip implantation causes no more discomfort than a vaccination and is a simple one-time insertion with a syringe.

Almost all humane organizations have scanners that read microchip IDs.
